What You Will Do

Immerse yourself in the authentic Irish pub culture and discover traditional and friendly places where locals enjoy Irish music, sports, and homemade food while enjoying a pint of Guinness.

On this Irish Pub Culture Walking Tour, you will: 


  • Visit 3 traditional Irish pubs in Dublin with your private guide;

  • Sample local beers, craft beers, and ciders;

  • Discover the literary and political connections of some of the most famous pubs in Dublin;

  • Hear live traditional Irish music for an authentic Irish Pub Culture experience;

  • Learn about Ireland’s most famous beer, Guinness, and the family legacy which carries on today.

Get better acquainted with the culture, history and stories of the Irish capital whilst having a drink in some of the best pubs in Dublin! 

Dublin is where pubs were born, each with its unique atmosphere and long and varied history. Their authenticity has given Irish pubs a reputation for being fun, friendly and welcoming all over the world, but they quintessentially belong to Dublin. There is no other such suitable place to sip on a pint of Guinness. This tour is a mixture of novelty, history, literature, music and humour!

Venture to Dublin's true hidden gems --including the pubs which contributed most to the city's unique character. Not only will you learn how to savour a pint of beer, but also follow in the footsteps of Irish literary giants, seeing the haunts frequented by the likes of James Joyce. 

You will also learn how to properly enjoy a Guinness while learning about the rich cultural heritage which led to its creation. And remember, most importantly: you should only drink your Guinness when you can see a clear division between the white foam and the dark beer. If the beer in your glass still looks murky and brown, your Guinness isn't ready yet!
